Maddison Noel, a personal trainer, is the new face of mountain chic. She smiled and took a picture in front of a vast mountain. Out on an adventure, she’s slaying in a white top and blue vest—armor for the modern warrior.

Those pockets are for her phone and water. The tube across her chest is her water source. Maddison is a trendsetter among trekkers. Eat your heart out, Mother Nature. There’s a new leading lady in the great outdoors!

The Thorniest Hole of All

Forget the sand traps and water hazards. Meet the golfer who took “staying out of the rough” to a new, prickly level. During the 2010 PGA Tour in Arizona, our golfer got stuck and decided to tee off in the woods.

He’s now covered in cacti, and paramedics are removing the needles. Some cacti live for over 300 years. Thankfully, our golfer’s painful relationship with the plant will be short. He’ll remember this for a long time.

Cheers to Beer-Drinking Games

Meet the duo who’ve reinvented beer drinking. They don’t clink glasses; they raise their tumblers with a wooden contraption. They have strings attached to their free time. They look serious.

Two tents hold evidence of the party: a glass and a beer can. Puppets have been around for over 3,000 years. They’re even helping with beer. Thanks for making “puppet happy hour” fun!

Daredevil Leaps Over Fire with Axe

It’s a mid-air stunt that would make an action movie director drool! He hops over a fire with an axe, wearing only shorts and adrenaline-fueled. Bare feet? No problem! He’s being bold in front of nature.

The lake and hills watch in awe, forming the perfect backdrop. Beers and an icebox cooler await him as he rests after his fiery conquest. He’s made “chilling in nature” an extreme sport. The action was captured at the right time.

Fluffy’s Feast or Siesta?

It’s sunny, and we have a bear on a picnic table. The local black bear is enjoying human hospitality. He’s waiting for the picnic or for someone to feed him. Maybe he’s tired from foraging.

This is a picnic to remember or to run from. The word “picnic” comes from the French “pique-nique,” an informal meal eaten outside. The bear didn’t bring food, but he joined the party.
